That&#39;s basically what she does as well, although she then researches where everything ends up and what happens after that... it&#39;s a fascinating book, and it&#39;s what jump-started my interest in recycling, reducing, etc. I&#39;ve even got 2 copies (one for lending!) so if you want to read it I&#39;ll send it!Rebekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01811406094387310769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158389618650628665.post-35914036451506449692009-05-13T20:45:00.000-07:002009-05-13T20:45:00.000-07:00Like I said, it will be a long time before I am willing to give up toilet paper.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00284851569626211746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158389618650628665.post-22509289094624871372009-04-24T22:15:00.000-07:002009-04-24T22:15:00.000-07:00The part I read that made it seem reasonable was the logic that when you use your hand to wipe yourself, you wash that hand afterward to get it clean, naturally. So why not wash the source also to get that clean too, rather than just wiping and smearing? lol OK, a bit graphic there, but the idea made sense to me. Haven't tried it yet though. Maybe someday in my dream house that's totally zero-impact- washing facilities next to my composting toilet. :)Rebekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01811406094387310769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158389618650628665.post-52663885023444958212009-04-24T18:39:00.000-07:002009-04-24T18:39:00.000-07:00i now have a rag drawer instead of a rag bag. with the terry towels you mentioned. and did you HAVE to mention the TP story?<br />mompaulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09376092831529189689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158389618650628665.post-85900735928662887322009-04-24T14:02:00.000-07:002009-04-24T14:02:00.000-07:00There are always bidets. ;-) <br />I guess if one washed then dried with a rag it would not be as gross as just using a rag, huh?Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00284851569626211746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158389618650628665.post-70546392214983250752009-04-23T18:22:00.000-07:002009-04-23T18:22:00.000-07:00Love it! I'm with you on the towels and cloth napkins, too. I was lucky enough to find someone selling tons of black restaurant-style linen napkins on Craigslist last year just as I was planning the switch. And for towels I have the good old cloth type as well as some of those super-absorbant ones that are also biodegradable so I'll just compost them when they're a gonner.<br />I'm impressed that your dad/family actually did that as a TP alternative (although I understand it was probably not their first choice due to the circumstances!). I've read recently some discussions about how the best alternative would be the bidet, or some type of hand-held shower head rigged up next to the toilet. :)<br />I have a rag drawer where the holey socks go to become dusters, etc. And I bought a clothesline once, but the outdoors is so dusty here it did not work well- I'm planning a rack for the garage at some point.<br />Happy Earth Day (belated- but every day is earth day, right?) and keep up the good work! You're setting a great example for your kids.Rebekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01811406094387310769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158389618650628665.post-11412977563098635912009-04-16T15:56:00.000-07:002009-04-16T15:56:00.000-07:00Very nice!
